Modular Subsystems

Modular Subsystems

• 8 inches deep single-deep 1U Front-loading 5-Slot version – J-Series
• 14 inches double-deep 1U Front-loading and BACK-loading 10-Slot version – J-Series
• 18 inches deep 3U Front-loaded 16-Slot version (+5 J type rear slots)- J3U
• 3U Subsystem – The J3U chassis can support any module in the J3U family. These modules run from IF,L/S/C/X/Ku/DBS and Ka-Bands as well Ethernet/ SNMP and TTL signals. Both the 1u J-series and J3U supports hot swappable J modules. The module family contains both 50 ohm or 75 ohm optical transmitters/receivers/transceivers, power supplies, CWDM/DWDM, Optical / RF switching and combining, GbE switch with full SNMP and web server capabilities.
• 1U Subsystem– An expanded 10-slot J Chassis can hold up to 36 50 ohm RF over Fiber modules– each can be either Tx or Rx, all are hot swappable J4 modules. The 1U chassis can include 18 RF over Fiber 50 ohm or 75 ohm OZ450/OZ510/OZ516 units or 9 cooled DFB transceivers (TxRx).

The J-Series 1U Chassis supports up to 10 slots. There are two styles of the basic J Series 1U chassis, both support cooled DFB. One is a 5 slot 1U chassis and the other is a 10 slot 1U configured as a 5-slot chassis connected back to back. Front and back LED show the status of all slots.

The J-Series family is a modular, AC (power supply hot swappable in any slot, n+1 redundancy) or DC powered (DUAL power supplies each can be individually hot swappable), in a 1U (EIA 310-D) Standard 19-inch chassis.

The J3U-Series is a modular, AC (power supply hot swappable in rear slots, n+1 redundancy) or DC powered (DUAL power supplies each can be individually hot swappable), in a 3U (EIA 310-D) Standard 19-inch chassis. The J3U-Series 3U Chassis supports up to 16 front slots. The J3U chassis supports both cooled and uncooled DFB laser along with RF, Optical switching, CWDM / DWDM and EDFA capabilities.

Built in Redundancy

1:1 Optical Zonus 1:1  Redundancy System is optimized to perform from 20 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range. The system supports both 50 ohm and 75 ohm redundancy applications for 1×1 redundant configurations when integrated with Optical Zonus RF fiber optic transmitters and receivers.

Even though the RF Splitter is a passive device it has a unit identifier so the SNMP management system can recognize it.

1:N Optical Zonus 1:N  Redundancy System is optimized to perform in 1:2 and 1:4 system from 20 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range. This feature simulate standard RF architecture for 1:2 and 1:4 redundancy allowing for a single Transmitter or Receive to back-up the system. Optical Zonus redundant system also employs both optical and RF redundancy thus eliminating the need for a dedicated communication link between the chassis’ in the event of a unit failure.  The system supports both 50 ohm and 75 ohm redundancy applications for 1xN redundant configurations when integrated with Optical Zonus RF fiber optic transmitters and receivers.

Even though the RF Splitter is a passive device it has a unit identifier so the SNMP management system can recognize it.

Site diversity

Optical Zonus Site Diversity System allows for Fiber path redundancy with protection by monitoring the incoming optical power at the receive end switch. Switching will only occur at a present optical input and not just a complete loss of optical signal. This serves a path monitoring tool so the choice to manually switch to the back-up fiber path so maintenance can be performed on the primary path during a scheduled maintenance window.
